I was there. As others have said, not sure it was too heroic though - lovely city, friendly stewards and pleasant away fans for the most part. One of the most enjoyable away trips I've been on for quite a while.
I guess I just like the familiarity. I've lived here my whole life and am very comfortable with the culture. There's some aspects of it that you just don't seem to get anywhere else - like the idea of the local pub (as opposed to bar) serving proper ale. That I love. The worst thing? Maybe the...
I'm not so sure it is that bizarre - they probably make money with things as they are and without spending a crazy amount. Spending more gives them a chance of going up and once again enjoying the Premier League riches (and the further increased spending that will then be necessary), but it's by...

It's Pulis' insistence that it's all the dirty, cheating foreigners who do it that annoys me. Is he not aware of Ashley Young? Or the example given above where he's delighted at his English player engaging in another form of simulation in order to score a goal.
Plus, yes, his team play the most...
I don't think it's so much about the fact that it's the Queen - as a journalist, if somebody says something to you off the record, it should absolutely stay that way.
